MSSS offers services to enhance retention, graduation, and success rates to all migrant students enrolled at CSUMB. MSSS assumes the role of advocate and offers workshops in support of academic requirements and academic schedules. Development, learning, and achievement aspects are monitored to ensure academic success and personal growth. Students in need of group and individual tutoring are referred to the Academic Skills Achievement Program (ASAP) whenever necessary. New Student Orientations and development seminars present an opportunity for MSSS students to address topics and issues relevant to making the transition to the university easier such as:

· Being away from home
· Personal safety
· Housing
· Conflict Resolution
· Making friends
· Setting priorities
· Overcoming the fear of failure
· Time management
· Develop a plan to complete the graduation requirements in a timely manner
· Help students understand their resources

MSSS students will be encouraged to participate in internships and community activities to enhance their career opportunities and professional preparation.
